Why does a compass not respond when held near a wire carrying alternating current?
a. the field changes direction 120 times a second, which is too fast for the compass needle to respond.
b. the field changes direction 120 times a second, negating any magnetic field there might be.
c. the field changes direction 120 times a second, stripping any free electrons that might affect the compass.
d. the field changes direction 60 times a second, doubling the magnetic field in both directions.

Avertical clean glass piezometer tube has an inside diameter of d = 1 mm and is used to measure pressure in a horizontal pipe carrying water as shown. due to pressure in the pipe, the water at 20c rises into the tube to a height h. if the water pressure in the pipe is p = 500 pa gauge, estimate the height h: (a) without considering surface tension (b) with surface tension (capillary) effects. the contact angle  can be assumed at 30 deg
